SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt says his team “totally dominated” Orlando Pirates on Tuesday, but the referee spoilt it for them.
Bucs won 2-1 on the night, but Hunt is adamant his charges didn’t deserve to lose had it not been for the referee Robert Sithole, who was also the man in charge when the two sides met in the first round when Pirates won 3-0.
“Shambolic display and I don’t have to tell you by who … it is an absolute disgrace. It is amazing that we got the same officials as we did in the first round. We should have had two penalties in the first round. It baffles me; I thought we moved on from this,” Hunt fumes.
“There was only one team in the game and that was us, but there will always be someone who will spoil it for us. It is worse than playing in the [CAF] Champions League.
“Benni should have been sent off in the first half when he went over the ball on Morgan [Gould] but nothing happened. He got away with murder.”
SuperSport midfielder Edwin Gyimah was later sent off after a coming together with Andile Jali, which saw the Ghanaian direct a slap toward his opponent, but Hunt has defended the player’s action saying his players were “despondent” because of the way the referee handled the match.
“What do you expect the players to do? Eventually something is gonna happen and we suffered at the end of the day. But we were magnificent and the much better side. We totally dominated,” Hunt insists.
